MCQ
In the interference pattern, energy is
- ACreated at the position of maxima
- BDestroyed at the position of minima
- ✓Conserved but is redistributed
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Conserved but is redistributed
c
(c)In interference of light the energy is transferred from the region of destructive interference to the region of constructive interference. The average energy being always equal to the sum of the energies of the interfering waves. Thus the phenomenon of interference is in complete agreement with the law of conservation of energy.
